Another enzyme-based diagnostic tool is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which can detect and amplify small amounts of DNA or RNA in a patient's sample. PCR is commonly used to diagnose viral and bacterial infections, as well as genetic disorders. ...
Gene-specific primers amplify 100 to 300 base pair fragments of cDNA by PCR which is monitored by fluorescent probes. It is a routine laboratory technique but qRT-PCR is labour-intensive and costly for exploratory studies where a convincing target gene is not yet determined. ...
While some had their research grind to a halt, others have pivoted or have been redirected to support the new global cause – everything from conducting RT-PCR sampling and testing, to SARS-CoV-2 research. There have been both winners and losers as a result. ...
Three hundred and forty samples were determined positive for V. parahaemolyticus using traditional microbiological techniques. The genes toxR and tlh were detected via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 41 isolates from 23 samples (6%). Thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh) and thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin (tdh) are the most ...
